So, 2 weeks after the single’s release and creeping upon the release of the Single V, I am finally getting around to reviewing Buono!’s latest single, ‘Gachinko de Ikou!’ (translated as “Let’s Compete Earnestly!” on projecthello, thus the post title).

I must say that this single is absolutely amazing! I am currently torn trying to decide [...]

Here’s just a quick update for the moment. It’s been almost a month since my last post, but most of my time has been taken up with personal/family matters (all good, just busy busy) and Miya’s birthday countdown which happened at my Miya worship blog.
But, now that Miya’s birthday has past, I should be getting [...]

So, Mari doesn’t actually say this, seeing as she’s in mid performance, but I could imagine that was what was running through her head as Morning Musume did this joint performance with Pink Lady.
I actually don’t have any idea where I downloaded this performance from. I just saw it sitting on my desktop, and since [...]

This post is complimentary to broomhead’s post on TrueLifeSeek. Like C-ute, The Berryz girls are showing their support for Manoeri as she embarks on her solo career. I found this set of photos on the JPH!P forums, but Maasa’s photo wasn’t with the bunch. I’ll add Maasa’s photo once I find it.
EDIT: Maasa [...]

I got home from work today and signed on to MSN. There, Charmy Renai of Shiny Days sent me a youtube link, and I loaded it up just thinking it would be some random funny clip featuring either Atsuko, Maasa or Miyabi.
Imagine my suprise when I see Berryz Koubou AND Atsuko lined up, and hear [...]

For the Berryz Kamen vs. Cutie Ranger Battle Concert, there are two photobooks that have been released. One is your run-of-the-mill concert PB with shots of the girls during the performances.
The second photobook is a memory book with photos of the girls behind the scenes during the preparation for the concert.
While browsing through the memory [...]

The Berryz Koubou & °C-ute Nakayoshi Battle Concert Tour 2008 Haru ~Berryz Kamen vs. Cutie Ranger~ concert was released this week, and in the midst of doing this review, I have watched some of these performances between 6-10 times… Mainly because I keep getting distracted by the insane antics of people in wotachat, that I’d [...]

SO, this marks the 50th post for fields of maiZe and berryZ, and to commemmorate it, I’ve done up a podcast! It’s basically me just talking about my H!P fandom, my journey since I began blogging and my love for International Wota.
So, if you’re interested, feel free to give it a listen!
Runtime: 50:00 (Dude.. just [...]

Well, I’m a little bit delayed, but here is my response to misa’s J-music survey. I’ve got a few songs embedded in here, just in case anyone wants to give a listen to some of the artists I talk about. It’s a little bit funny (this feeling inside… err… ahem… sorry wrong language of songs [...]

Okay, so I missed my first week of Memorable Snippets last week. I think It’s pretty impressive that went 6 weeks without missing a post (even though one a few weeks I was a day late with the post). However, it’s been pretty hectic at work for me recently, with a lot of telephone interviews [...]
